does anyone have a discursive sample essay?

wait the exam can ask for a persuasive too?? WHAT

 

[HazzRat]

I recommend planning an imaginative, a discursive, and a persuasive. This is because when I walked into the exam room I had only had an imaginative planned and was caught blindsided by either a discursive or imaginative . That being said, if you walk into an exam needing to convert your imaginative into a discursive/persuasive, just use imaginative writing as a persuasive technique.

thats harder tho... why don't you write about something you are interested in? writing discursives are actually REALLY fun because you are just yapping abt and get marked for that. i wrote mine about humanity's enduring obsession with the morbid, and it was geniunely the only english essay that i didn't drag out for a week lol

Omg yeah if u have a discursive or persuasive u can just make ur imaginative have someone arguing to u about ur discursive or persuasive. And then u can turn ur imaginative into a discursive or persuasive by persuading people into believing ur imaginative stuff is real or smth idk

the answer is yes absolutely they can has been done before In trial exams and I have taught my students to be prepared . They have already asked for no reflection in some hsc papers so be prepared for anything? I think I have some examples . I will post some examples

 

[tigerian]

I’ve found one . I will show more but THSC ADVSNCED PAPER 2 Abbotsleigh 2024 has one example which is also a question I’ve seen before but I thought you could see that one while I find other#

‘I went up to her and asked, do you have “Nowhere Girl” by B Movie? She did. She played


it and for a moment the room was drenched in feeling from the past: the feeling of


something unknown trying to get your attention, of not being quite able to see what it


is; of somebody trying to awaken somebody else; of trying to wake. Banal somewhere


was suddenly and beautifully infused with mysterious nowhere. It was a very small


moment but a lovely one. As this is a small but lovely song.’


Mary Gaitskill


a. b. Use to the above stimulus as inspiration for a piece of discursive writing which


explores the power of a small moment. (10 marks)


Explain and evaluate how you have drawn on at least one Craft of Writing text to


craft a piece of writing which explores the power of a small moment. (10 marks)

i really cant fathom someone not AT LEAST partially winging a creative
plus wouldnt memorising a discursive be best for either outcome anyways

as an HSC markers I constantly ask my students how can you memorise a discursive when you don’t know the stimulus or what you will be asked . As silly as happen in hsc and trials

you should be ready for just one requirement unseen such as this from a trial last year


We are made for togetherness. We are made for community. We are made for a life of

connection.

DESMOND TUTU

Inspired by the stimulus, compose a discursive piece that explores the importance of forming
meaningful connections


you have 5 minutes reading time and module A B and C questions to read in that time
